Apparently trans people trying to renew their passports are being denied because of this, no matter the gender they request. Just denied a passport full stop. 

Never mind the people who are supposed to get ‘deported’ but only hold American citizenship – you can’t deport a person to a country they don’t have a citizenship for. They will be put in ‘detention centres’ indefinitely. 

If you don’t think there won’t be concentration camps inside the US you haven’t been paying attention.

Agreed. In this context, it's important to remember that not all concentration camps are nazi-style death camps. Don't get me wrong, they're still obviously bad, but don't let people say "come on, you think there's going to be a Holocaust in the US? That's what concentration camps imply!"

We’ve already seen detention centres with conditions bad enough to cause long-term sickness and eventual death of migrant children. Why people would think that these concentration camps won’t be as bad as the non-extermination Nazi camps is unclear – probably wishful thinking at this point
